Someone who played the lottery at Kelly's 49 on Old N.C. Highway 49 in Denton is the owner of a Powerball ticket worth $1 million.

The ticket matched all five white balls but not the Powerball in Saturday night's drawing, beating odds of 1 in 5.1 million.

The winning white ball numbers were 3, 22, 26, 41 and 49.

This is the second ticket sold in the Triad in the past two drawings to win $1 million playing Powerball. The first ticket, which has yet to be claimed, was sold in the Jan. 23 drawing at the Harris Teeter on Clemmons Road in Clemmons. Players have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize.

Since the lottery began through June 30, 2012, Davidson County education programs received more than $37.1 million in lottery funds, according to a press release from the lottery. By law, those funds pay for teachers' salaries in grades K-3, school construction, prekindergarten programs for at-risk 4-year-olds and need-based college scholarships and financial aid.
